FAQ | Palm Harbor BBL Injections

Question 1

What is a Liquid BBL?

Accepted Answer

A Liquid BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) — an FDA-approved, water-based injectable — to add volume and shape to the buttocks and hips. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra is water-based and biocompatible: it works by gradually stimulating your body's own collagen production rather than simply adding immediate volume. It is not a surgical procedure — there is no incision, no general anesthesia, and no surgical recovery period. Results are achieved through a personalized injection plan developed during your consultation with Sean Hoffman, PA.

Question 2

Who performs the Liquid BBL?

Accepted Answer

All injection services at Palm Harbor BBL Injections are performed by Sean Hoffman, PA, a licensed physician assistant, under the supervision of Dr. Kurtis Hostetter, MD, our licensed medical director, in accordance with Florida law. M'yeeka Brown, the studio owner, does not perform injections — she provides facials, lashes, brows, hair, and makeup services only.

Question 3

How much filler is used?

Accepted Answer

Our Liquid BBL service uses 10 vials of Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid). Sculptra is a water-based, FDA-approved injectable that stimulates your body's own collagen production over time. The exact placement and distribution are determined by Sean Hoffman, PA based on your anatomy and goals during the consultation.

Question 4

How long do results last?

Accepted Answer

Results vary by individual and depend on factors including the type of filler used, your metabolism, and how your body responds to treatment. Sean Hoffman, PA will discuss realistic expectations at your consultation.

Question 5

Is there downtime?

Accepted Answer

There is no surgical recovery period. Some clients experience temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness at injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days to two weeks. Sean Hoffman, PA will provide specific aftercare instructions at your appointment.

Question 6

What days is the Liquid BBL available?

Accepted Answer

The Liquid BBL is available Wednesday through Friday by appointment. Contact us to check current availability.

Question 7

How do I know if I'm a candidate?

Accepted Answer

Candidacy is determined during a consultation with Sean Hoffman, PA. Factors including your health history, current medications, and treatment goals are reviewed before any service is scheduled. Not everyone is a candidate, and we will tell you honestly if a treatment is not appropriate for you.

Question 8

What is the deposit for a Liquid BBL?

Accepted Answer

A $1,250 deposit is required to reserve your Liquid BBL appointment. The deposit is applied toward your total service cost of $2,500. Cancellation and rescheduling terms are confirmed at the time of booking.

Question 9

Is the Liquid BBL FDA-approved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid), an FDA-approved water-based injectable, for all Liquid BBL services. Sculptra is biocompatible and works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production. We do not use unapproved or unregulated substances. The specific product and treatment plan are confirmed at your consultation with Sean Hoffman, PA.

Question 10

What is NAD+ IV Therapy?

Accepted Answer

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. IV therapy delivers it directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. We offer 500 mg and 1,000 mg doses. Consultation and eligibility review are required before scheduling.

Question 11

Who performs IV therapy?

Accepted Answer

IV therapy is performed by Sean Hoffman, PA, under the supervision of Dr. Kurtis Hostetter, MD. Consultation and eligibility review are required before any IV service is scheduled.

Session length varies by dose and individual response. Sean Hoffman, PA will give you a time estimate at your consultation.

Question 13

NAD+ IV therapy is $595 for the 500 mg dose and $840 for the 1,000 mg dose. A consultation and eligibility review are required before scheduling.

Question 14

What facial services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

M'yeeka offers custom facials, hydradermabrasion, enzyme peels, anti-aging lift and firm facials, acne clarifying facials, and men's facials. Every treatment is tailored to your skin's current condition — there are no preset menus. If you're not sure what your skin needs, we'll figure it out together at your appointment.

Question 15

How do I prepare for a facial?

Accepted Answer

Come with a clean face if possible, and let us know about any active skin concerns, recent treatments, or products you're currently using. If you've had a chemical peel or laser treatment recently, mention that when you book.

Question 16

Can I get a facial if I have sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. M'yeeka customizes every facial to your skin type and condition. If you have sensitive skin, let us know when you book so the treatment can be adjusted accordingly.

Question 17

How long do lash extensions last?

Accepted Answer

Lash extensions typically last 2–4 weeks before a fill is needed, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Avoid oil-based products near the eyes and do not rub or pull at your lashes.

Question 18

What's the difference between classic, hybrid, and volume lashes?

Accepted Answer

Classic lashes apply one extension per natural lash for a natural, defined look. Hybrid lashes mix classic and volume fans for a textured, wispy effect. Volume lashes apply multiple lightweight extensions per natural lash for a full, dramatic look. M'yeeka will help you choose the right style for your eye shape and lifestyle.

Question 19

Do I need to do anything before my lash appointment?

Accepted Answer

Come with clean lashes — no mascara, eyeliner, or eye makeup. Avoid oil-based products around the eyes for 24 hours before your appointment. Do not curl your lashes before coming in.

Question 20

What is Latisse and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) is the only FDA-approved prescription treatment clinically proven to grow eyelashes longer, fuller, thicker, and darker. It is applied nightly to the base of the upper lash line. Results develop gradually over the 120-day program. Latisse is a prescription medication — a clinical consultation and eligibility review with Sean Hoffman, PA are required before any prescription is issued.

Question 21

How much does the Latisse program cost?

Accepted Answer

Our Latisse Lash Growth Program starts at $150 for a 120-day supply. Pricing is confirmed at your consultation with Sean Hoffman, PA. The program includes your full supply and complete application instructions.

Question 22

Is Latisse safe? Are there side effects?

Accepted Answer

Latisse is FDA-approved and has been studied in clinical trials. Possible side effects include eye redness, itching, darkening of the eyelid skin, and in rare cases changes to iris color. Sean Hoffman, PA will review your full health history, current medications, and any contraindications at your consultation before any prescription is issued. Not appropriate for all clients.

Question 23

How is Latisse different from over-the-counter lash serums?

Accepted Answer

Latisse is the only FDA-approved prescription treatment for lash growth — it is not a cosmetic serum. Over-the-counter lash serums are cosmetic products and have not gone through the same clinical approval process. Latisse contains bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog with documented clinical results. It requires a prescription and medical oversight.

Question 24

What is HIV PrEP?

Accepted Answer

HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a prescription medication regimen for HIV-negative individuals at risk of HIV. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective at preventing HIV transmission. Our PrEP service is provided by Sean Hoffman, PA, under the supervision of Dr. Kurtis Hostetter, MD.

Question 25

Is my PrEP appointment confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All PrEP appointments are completely confidential and handled without judgment. We are a welcoming, inclusive studio and take your privacy seriously. You will not be asked unnecessary questions, and your information is not shared.

Question 26

What does the PrEP consultation include?

Accepted Answer

The consultation includes a clinical eligibility review, required lab work, and a conversation about your options, how PrEP works, what to expect, and ongoing management. A prescription is issued only after the consultation and lab results confirm eligibility. Ongoing follow-up is included as part of your care plan.

Question 27

Do I need lab work for PrEP?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Required lab work is completed as part of the PrEP consultation and eligibility process before any prescription is issued. Sean Hoffman, PA will explain exactly what is needed at your appointment.

Question 28

What is peptide therapy?

Accepted Answer

Peptide therapy is a clinical service performed by Sean Hoffman, PA, under the supervision of Dr. Kurtis Hostetter, MD. A consultation and eligibility review are required before any peptide protocol is recommended or initiated. The treating clinician discusses your goals, relevant history, available options, risks, and aftercare. We do not make disease-treatment or guaranteed outcome claims. Protocols and pricing are confirmed at consultation.

Question 29

What products does the hair restoration program use, and what does each one do?

Accepted Answer

Our hair restoration program uses three compounds — KPV, CoQ10, and B Complex — as a combined clinical protocol.

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide with anti-inflammatory properties. Scalp inflammation is one of the key factors that can disrupt hair follicle function, so KPV works to create a healthier scalp environment that supports follicle activity.

CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a naturally occurring antioxidant involved in cellular energy production. Hair follicles are metabolically active and require significant energy to produce hair. CoQ10 helps protect follicle cells from oxidative stress and supports the energy demands of the growth cycle.

B Complex provides a group of essential B vitamins — including Biotin (B7), B12, and others — that are directly involved in keratin production, red blood cell formation, and the metabolic processes that fuel follicle activity. Biotin in particular is well known for its role in hair and nail health.

Used together, these three compounds address inflammation, oxidative stress, and nutritional support at the follicle level. All three are administered as part of a clinical protocol by Sean Hoffman, PA, under the supervision of Dr. Kurtis Hostetter, MD. A consultation and eligibility review are required before any treatment plan is initiated.

Question 30

How do I get started with peptide therapy or hair restoration?

Accepted Answer

Contact us to request a consultation. For hair restoration, Sean Hoffman, PA uses a KPV, CoQ10, and B Complex protocol — eligibility, timeline, and pricing are confirmed at your consultation. For peptide therapy, the protocol is also determined at consultation. In both cases, Sean Hoffman, PA will review your eligibility, discuss your goals and options, and confirm whether a treatment plan is appropriate for you.

Question 31

Do you offer services for men?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a full Men's Packages category including the Men's Grooming Facial ($95), Men's Back Facial ($90), Men's Clinical Package (NAD+ IV therapy, peptide therapy, hair restoration, and HIV PrEP), and Men's Lash & Brow (brow waxing and tinting, plus the Latisse prescription lash growth program). Strip lashes and full lash extension sets are not offered for men. Liquid BBL body contouring is not a men's service.

Question 32

Is the studio welcoming to all genders and identities?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Palm Harbor BBL Injections is an inclusive, judgment-free studio. All are welcome — every body, every identity, every background. We do not ask unnecessary questions and we do not make assumptions. You will be treated with respect from the moment you contact us.

Question 33

What should I expect at my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit begins with a welcome, a brief review of your booking, and a conversation about your goals, preferences, relevant sensitivities, and current routine. We will explain the service, confirm pricing and timing, and answer questions before we begin. For a clinical service, the treating clinician also completes the required consultation and eligibility process. Please arrive on time and follow the preparation instructions sent with your confirmation.

Question 34

How does a consultation work?

Accepted Answer

A consultation is a conversation and assessment before a service is selected or performed. We discuss your goals, relevant history, current products or treatments, and any questions you have. For clinical services, the treating clinician decides whether you are eligible, what options may be appropriate, and whether treatment should proceed, change, or wait. A consultation does not guarantee treatment.

Question 35

Who performs medical treatments?

Accepted Answer

All injection and IV services are performed by Sean Hoffman, PA, under the supervision of Dr. Kurtis Hostetter, MD. M'yeeka Brown provides facials, lashes, brows, hair, and makeup services. Ask us before booking if you would like the name and credential of the clinician involved in your appointment.

Question 36

What is your cancellation and deposit policy?

Accepted Answer

A $1,250 deposit is required to reserve a Liquid BBL appointment. Cancellation and rescheduling terms are confirmed at the time of booking. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. Other services may require a deposit as disclosed before booking.

Question 37

Do you offer financing through Cherry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Financing is available through Cherry. Cherry states that its application does not require a hard credit check, and approvals generally begin around a 520 score. Qualifying clients may have plans ranging from 6 weeks to 24 months, including 0% APR options for up to 24 months when available. Approval, rates, terms, and payment amounts are determined by Cherry and are subject to eligibility. Review your offered terms carefully before accepting financing.

Question 38

What about aftercare?

Accepted Answer

Your aftercare depends on the service you receive. We will provide service-specific instructions at your appointment and ask you to follow them closely. Do not rely on a general internet checklist in place of the instructions provided for your individual treatment. If you have a concern after a clinical service, contact the clinic using the instructions you received and seek urgent or emergency care when appropriate.

Question 39

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Follow the preparation instructions provided when you book. In general, arrive on time, disclose current products, medications, allergies, sensitivities, and recent treatments that may matter, and come with a clean treatment area when practical. For lashes, arrive without eye makeup. For clinical services, complete required forms honestly and bring any information requested for your consultation.

Question 40

Do treatments hurt?

Accepted Answer

Comfort varies by person, service, technique, and individual sensitivity. Some services may involve brief discomfort, pressure, stinging, or tenderness. We will explain what to expect before we begin and can discuss comfort options when appropriate. No service can be honestly described as completely painless for every client.

Question 41

How long do results last?

Accepted Answer

There is no single answer because timing varies by service, product, technique, natural hair or lash cycle, skin condition, lifestyle, and aftercare. At your appointment, we will discuss a realistic maintenance range for your selected service and your individual plan. We do not guarantee a particular duration or result.
